The tarpaulin covering the rear compartment of the large freight magic locomotive was pulled away, revealing packages of white packages that filled the trunk.
Marquis Southgaard took a deep breath and smelled the special smell coming from the white package. His eyes lit up and he said excitedly: "Are these fertilizers?"
Xu Yi smiled and nodded: "Yes. Mr. Marquis, these ten cars contain a total of 200 tons of fertilizer, all from the Moon Shadow Tribe. Elder Lisanya of the Moon Shadow Tribe asked me to ask you a question for her when she sees you. good."
"That Elf elder?" Marquis Southgaard's mouth twitched with a strange expression.
When he was inspecting the Kingdom of Lampali and the Principality of Standing, Marquis Southgaard was extremely shocked when he learned that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce actually had connections with the elves, and even cooperated with the elves to open a chamber of commerce.
Later, when he learned that fertilizer, a commodity important to crop growth, was completely controlled by the elven tribe of the Moon Shadow Tribe, Marquis Southgaard felt even more strange.
Make a deal with the elves
This is really an extremely fresh experience.
But later, when he actually had formal contact with the elven representatives sent by the Moon Shadow Tribe to negotiate on the purchase of fertilizer, the elves of the Moon Shadow Tribe were almost the same as human merchants in their way of doing things, except that they looked different from humans.
If we really want to compare, the elves of the Moon Shadow Tribe are more detailed than the human merchants, making it almost impossible for Marquis Southgaard to find any mistakes or omissions.
Elder Lisanya of the Moon Shadow tribe had not met Marquis Southgaard before, but now because of this transaction between the two parties, Xu Yi specifically asked him to bring greetings. This is really a standard way of human communication. It is completely inconsistent with the past style of the proud elves.
"Could it be that President Xu said this casually..." Marquis Southgaard shook his head. Putting aside these random thoughts, he and Xu Yi checked the cars one by one and confirmed that all ten large freight magic locomotives were filled with much-needed fertilizer, and they were immediately filled with joy.
The spring plowing season is about to come. During this spring plowing, not only did an additional 300 hectares of farmland be reclaimed with the assistance of the Cantona Chamber of Commerce, but now there is also a large amount of chemical fertilizers to support it. According to the data provided by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and Sosgay Data obtained by Marquis de Lampali from his own inspections in the Kingdom of Lampali and the Principality of Standing. Then by the time of the autumn harvest, the wheat production on his private property can be increased by at least one thousand tons.
This is a very astonishing number.
It is undoubtedly quite an exaggeration to know that in the past, his private property could only receive more than 400 tons during the annual autumn harvest, but now it can more than triple it all of a sudden.
If the Marquis of Southgaard had not seen it with his own eyes in the Kingdom of Lampali and the Principality of Standing, he would never have believed such an exaggerated thing.
After a brief inspection, the Marquis of Southgaard waved his hand and asked the servants who had been prepared to help the convoy unload the goods, and he invited Xu Yi into the private manor.
"President Xu, the people from the military department arrived yesterday and are waiting inside now." He was about to enter the living room. Marquis Southgaard reminded Xu Yi in a low voice.
Xu Yi was slightly startled, thinking that the people in Maro Di's army were quite active. He actually made a special trip here to wait for his arrival one day in advance.
Compared with the arrogance and neglect of the Candela Empire, the performance of the Maro Emperor's army can be described as sincere.
Entering the living room, I saw three men wearing Maraudian uniforms sitting down respectively. When they saw Xu Yi and Marquis Southgaard coming in together, they all fixed their eyes on Xu Yi.
Marquis Southgaard laughed at the right time and said: "Come on, President Xu, let me introduce you. These three are from the Imperial Ministry, and are affiliated to the Military Intelligence Agency, Logistics Agency and Operations Agency respectively. "Staff."
After saying this, Marquis Southgaard introduced the names of the three of them, and then introduced Xu Yi to the three of them.
"President Xu, I've heard about your name for a long time, but I didn't expect you to be much younger than I thought. It really surprised me."
The first person who stretched out his hand to shake Xu Yi's hand was Viscount Eto'o from the Logistics Department of the Malo Emperor's Ministry of Defense.
Compared with the slightly scrutinizing attitude of the other two, Viscount Eto'o's attitude towards Xu Yi was much more enthusiastic.
Xu Yi smiled and shook hands with him, and responded: "It doesn't matter whether you are young or not. What matters is whether the things from our Xinfei Chamber of Commerce are useful, right?"
Viscount Eto'o laughed and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, President Xu is really a straightforward person, I like him very much. President Xu, I hope our cooperation can go smoothly."
Xu Yi smiled and nodded.
After saying hello, both parties sat down separately. Marquis Southgaard took the lead in chatting for a few words, and then quickly brought the topic to the main topic.
"President Xu, today the three of us are from the Logistics Department, the Combat Staff Department and the Intelligence Department. I think you can see that the Imperial Army attaches great importance to your New Aviation Chamber of Commerce. I hope that in today's dialogue, Xu President, you can show some sincerity," Viscount Eto'o said.
"The Principality of Standing is more than two thousand kilometers away from here. If there is no sincerity, why should I travel so far in vain?" Xu Yi said with a smile.
"Well, that's good." Viscount Eto'o nodded slightly in approval. "President Xu, since I am the first to speak, let me express my intention on behalf of the Logistics Department."
Xu Yi made a gesture of invitation.
Eto'o pondered for a while and continued: "Our Logistics Department's focus is slightly different from that of other people in the military. Compared with military magic machinery, we pay more attention to things that can improve logistics supplies. Among them, I personally feel the most What I’m interested in are those large freight magic locomotives parked outside.”
Xu Yi smiled and was not surprised.
Compared with traditional horse-drawn carriages, the freight magic locomotive has obvious advantages in transportation.
It has only been more than three years since the New Flying Chamber of Commerce launched the magic motorcycle. There are almost no carriages in several surrounding countries such as the Kingdom of Lampali, the Principality of Standing, and the Kingdom of Luersun.
Even if there is, it is probably used by some people for nostalgia.
As for the nobles who were very fond of carriages before, they have now all replaced them with magic cars that are more comfortable and faster.
As for freight, the Filson Transportation Chamber of Commerce, which has completely replaced freight magic locomotives, has now become the largest transportation and logistics chamber of commerce in those countries. Other chambers of commerce that have demand for logistics transportation have also replaced freight carriages with freight carriages. Magic motorcycle.
Last year alone, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce sold more than 37,000 large magic freight motorcycles and more than 52,000 medium-sized magic magic motorcycles. On the contrary, the sales of small magic freight motorcycles suitable for home use were average, with less than Ten thousand vehicles.
But in total, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce made a huge profit of more than one million gold coins last year just from the freight magic motorcycle, which can be regarded as a very important profit point for the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
"With all due respect, although I very much hope to provide you with a large number of large freight magic locomotives, with the current road conditions in your country, even if you are equipped with large freight magic locomotives, it may be difficult to fully play their role." Xu Yidao .
Marquis Southgaard and the three of them looked at each other, their faces a little embarrassed.
Xu Yi's words were a naked contempt for the Maro Empire, but they had nothing to say.
The three Eto'o people personally went to inspect the newly built highway in the southwestern province of the Maro Empire. After seeing the smoothness of the road, even they themselves could no longer tolerate the potholes in the Maro Empire. What can I use to refute Xu Yi's so-called official doctrine
The Marquis of Southgaard had seen the convenience brought by roads as early as in the Duke of Drake. Later, in the Kingdom of Lampali and the Principality of Standing, he personally experienced the huge impact of the road transportation network on travel many times. Improvement made him have a deeper understanding of this.
He had long appealed to the empire to lay more roads and improve the road traffic conditions in the empire, but he never paid attention to it.
Now that Xu Yi said this, he actually agreed very much in his heart, but he just couldn't support it out loud because of his shame.
"Ahem... The empire is actually very concerned about the paving of roads. President Xu doesn't need to worry. But this has little to do with what we are discussing today. President Xu, you should know that our Logistics Agency needs to purchase these large-scale The magic freight locomotives are obviously designed to provide logistical supplies to armies in various places. So since they are used by the military, it is certainly impossible to ensure that there are road connections everywhere. So I would like to ask, what are the magic freight locomotives produced by your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce? Can it operate normally on rougher roads?" Eto'o asked again.
"If you are referring to those large freight magic locomotives outside now..." Xu Yi paused briefly, facing the concerned eyes of the four people, and slowly shook his head. "I'm sorry. Although these large freight magic locomotives can operate normally on poor-quality roads, they do not have strong off-road capabilities, so it is difficult for them to fully meet your requirements."
"Is this so?" Eto'o exhaled in disappointment. "If that's the case, then there will be far fewer places where these large freight magic locomotives can be used. After all, the empire's army may appear in harsh environments at any time, and it is impossible to have roads connecting them at any time."
Xu Yi smiled slightly, shook his head and said: "No, Viscount Eto'o, I just said that these large magic freight locomotives outside can't fully meet your requirements, but it doesn't mean that other magic freight locomotives can't either."
Eto'o's eyes suddenly lit up: "What do you mean..."
Xu Yi smiled and took out a document from his bag: "Please see, this is a magic motorcycle with super off-road capabilities that our chamber of commerce is developing. I think it should be able to meet your requirements of being able to operate in harsh road conditions." Requirements for normal operation..." (To be continued...)
